1
00:00:19,44 --> 00:00:25,14
Now that you are just joining us we are
showing you the very first aerial shots of

2
00:00:25,15 --> 00:00:29,06
New Orleans today this is I guess you could
call this the aftermath these are some

3
00:00:29,07 --> 00:00:34,75
of the very first aerial pictures of what
the water will be like today and you

4
00:00:34,76 --> 00:00:35,76
actually get to see

5
00:00:35,77 --> 00:00:45,16
a failing him. But

6
00:00:45,16 --> 00:00:45,16
.

7
00:01:06,10 --> 00:01:09,46
Right now I'm holding it
in. But if you give me

8
00:01:09,47 --> 00:01:16,27
a baseball bat and put me next to that tree
I probably knock that tree down because

9
00:01:16,28 --> 00:01:22,03
I'm I'm really angry. Not at any one
thing I'm just angry at everything.

10
00:01:25,13 --> 00:01:25,43
From.

11
00:02:09,49 --> 00:02:15,80

Going to be standing in.

15
00:02:47,03 --> 00:02:51,91
Oh. Yeah. It was still a little bit of

16
00:02:52,02 --> 00:02:58,94
a world where you know it was that name
storm first you can go with one man and

17
00:02:58,95 --> 00:03:04,62
never look for it and initials
it but a lot of people do use of

18
00:03:04,63 --> 00:03:11,14
a lot of trees and. I remember
one near deadliest that we had

19
00:03:11,15 --> 00:03:15,55
gallons and gallons of ice cream given it
all to the key is in the all walkin down

20
00:03:15,56 --> 00:03:22,16
the lane even out ice cream in love because
we didn't have generators by the end

21
00:03:22,63 --> 00:03:28,27
so we had to get rid of the stuff on our
freezer and we start couldn't cook canary

22
00:03:28,28 --> 00:03:34,92
bought in the neighborhood eats you
know. So and it is you know when we

23
00:03:34,93 --> 00:03:41,80
always this share like. I mean all ya
enjoy doing me all of these. States.

24
00:03:44,11 --> 00:03:50,72
We're angry sometimes that our government.
You know the way they treat us they

25
00:03:50,73 --> 00:03:53,27
think we don't exist you know is just

26
00:03:53,28 --> 00:03:59,10
a New Orleans No it's about everywhere
else everywhere is this been affected by

27
00:03:59,11 --> 00:04:03,63
this hurricane you know that's
what we're really about.

28
00:04:18,43 --> 00:04:24,79
Like the beginning of the storm let's say
this this county this is the beginning

29
00:04:25,04 --> 00:04:28,82
right here this sport and I got

30
00:04:28,90 --> 00:04:35,50
a few hours of bad way out of them you
know then when I see Elyse of the sky

31
00:04:35,51 --> 00:04:41,62
orange and every team's quiet
half to die passes and.

32
00:04:42,71 --> 00:04:49,33
Bad again but worse because that's the
back in town the clock Hawaii and you will

33
00:04:49,34 --> 00:04:55,20
notice when the lies. And
we have no more T.V.

34
00:04:55,21 --> 00:05:01,89
Or in the in like you know she's there
and the winds will be. You know that

35
00:05:02,05 --> 00:05:07,90
we learned that we have that we learned
to respect it you know was it going to be

36
00:05:07,91 --> 00:05:13,55
what was coming in only is it going to be
tornado layout or because we could see it

37
00:05:13,56 --> 00:05:15,03
in the scar in tail you.

38
00:05:49,26 --> 00:05:54,38
Long Long Long Long Long. Long.

39
00:05:58,76 --> 00:06:05,56
Long. Long.

40
00:06:08,27 --> 00:06:10,27
Long. Long

41
00:06:10,27 --> 00:06:13,24
long long. Long

42
00:06:25,90 --> 00:06:32,85
. Right. All right so you're welcome. We

43
00:06:32,86 --> 00:06:35,79
have a couple more callers on the
table and then we're going to take

44
00:06:35,80 --> 00:06:37,53
a break we're going to take

45
00:06:37,54 --> 00:06:42,67
a phone call on this week and good morning
on yes thanks for taking my call I have

46
00:06:42,68 --> 00:06:48,94
a current thought about the dollar program
the assistance program is not OK so we

47
00:06:48,95 --> 00:06:54,30
give the qualified Oh absolutely OK have
you have you first time at something here

48
00:06:54,31 --> 00:06:58,91
to maybe before I came on when truck was
on the two thousand dollars individual

49
00:06:58,92 --> 00:07:04,06
immediate assistance is still available to
be eligible the first thing you have to

50
00:07:04,07 --> 00:07:09,73
do is to call the eight hundred number
right and go through the interview goes

51
00:07:09,74 --> 00:07:14,23
through the interviews with the operator
and then if you have insurance you have to

52
00:07:14,24 --> 00:07:18,92
wait until the insurance right company
gets back either with thema or with the

53
00:07:18,93 --> 00:07:22,22
individual and it has been the same since
the beginning to exact right time.

54
00:07:29,73 --> 00:07:36,36
This past store we were on the air
till I want to say it was two am

55
00:07:36,60 --> 00:07:41,72
three o'clock Monday morning
but. By the grace of God then

56
00:07:41,82 --> 00:07:47,79
a few prayers and troubleshooting when the
morning we were able to get back on the

57
00:07:47,80 --> 00:07:54,24
air about nine o'clock in the morning.
It was first time in my life I turned on

58
00:07:55,20 --> 00:07:57,47
and their family or a
video and didn't hear

59
00:07:57,52 --> 00:08:01,42
a single radio station on
the air everybody was off.

60
00:08:07,80 --> 00:08:14,14
We should stream our audiophile
on the Internet and. We were

61
00:08:14,15 --> 00:08:20,64
pleading for help from the
outside world and. Apparently

62
00:08:21,10 --> 00:08:25,11
our Internet listeners are slow to receiving
e-mails that we're getting things

63
00:08:25,12 --> 00:08:31,54
together where should we send them and.
You know so far officials work for

64
00:08:32,38 --> 00:08:39,34
certain distribution
but. We were. Before we

65
00:08:39,35 --> 00:08:46,17
knew it. I think you know States Marine
Corps leaving for Waco Texas was the first

66
00:08:46,21 --> 00:08:52,65
eighteen wheeler to drive. All
of this came in on the yesterday

67
00:08:53,46 --> 00:09:00,01
all of this down there was.
To give to the people.

68
00:09:02,79 --> 00:09:07,04
Now where. We have to be able to and.

69
00:09:10,54 --> 00:09:16,56
Beyond. This is old baby diapers
and this is baby watch.

70
00:09:17,66 --> 00:09:24,66
This is all more baby diapers
they've been sent to. All

71
00:09:24,67 --> 00:09:30,65
of this. Three package. Them sales.

72
00:09:31,95 --> 00:09:38,40
Food toothpaste so we had nothing
here. Came in yesterday.

73
00:09:40,35 --> 00:09:46,53
Are. Now. More

74
00:09:47,16 --> 00:09:51,26
are. In the back room want to see that.

75
00:10:04,27 --> 00:10:09,89
It's more than New Orleans is affected
but the government is acting like. We're

76
00:10:09,90 --> 00:10:12,94
hearing Mississippi and
Alabama I mean we've seen

77
00:10:12,95 --> 00:10:16,42
a little bit of and we're hearing that
there are in the same situation like

78
00:10:17,23 --> 00:10:18,81
basically they're on their own to.

79
00:10:26,25 --> 00:10:33,20
Locally you know so. The bore water
Horn took care of our immediate needs

80
00:10:33,21 --> 00:10:39,35
and now the feds feel and the state
has to go in for the bigger picture.

81
00:10:55,62 --> 00:10:56,22
I mean griot

82
00:10:56,23 --> 00:11:02,83
a bunch of different
ones senators. Congress

83
00:11:03,17 --> 00:11:09,54
the present. Day they acted like it was
not the new were declared Louisiana and

84
00:11:09,55 --> 00:11:11,02
Mississippi was declared

85
00:11:11,06 --> 00:11:18,04
a state of emergency disaster area
before the storm here. Before

86
00:11:18,12 --> 00:11:23,45
two days at the before. The
the president declared as

87
00:11:23,93 --> 00:11:29,61
a disaster state of emergency that's
what made us all evacuated like we did.

88
00:11:31,22 --> 00:11:37,98
And there was no response after the storm
every disaster is different you can't you

89
00:11:38,04 --> 00:11:42,48
can't tell what Mother Nature is going to
do and Mother Nature just wreaked havoc

90
00:11:42,88 --> 00:11:48,97
so even though things were in place some
of the assets were destroyed that were in

91
00:11:48,98 --> 00:11:53,78
place to help with the recovery in the
response so you have to pull people in you

92
00:11:53,79 --> 00:12:00,12
can't pull people that aren't fame or
trained for specific things so we simply

93
00:12:00,13 --> 00:12:05,76
didn't have the human assets when they
see me and my famous shirt they say oh

94
00:12:05,77 --> 00:12:06,50
please answer me

95
00:12:06,51 --> 00:12:10,44
a question and if I can answer their
questions I do and they're grateful they're

96
00:12:10,45 --> 00:12:16,86
truly grateful that we're here
and. I'm glad that I can help them

97
00:12:17,48 --> 00:12:17,87
and

98
00:12:18,29 --> 00:12:28,31
a small way that I can
but. I can't help. Yes

99
00:12:28,32 --> 00:12:31,18
I and I apologize I just I fail for

100
00:12:31,19 --> 00:13:24,90
a life I'm too tender for
this job sometimes. Well

101
00:13:25,36 --> 00:13:29,15
Oliver system is that way all communities
are in the middle but all along the by

102
00:13:29,16 --> 00:13:32,73
you and along where one gate will lead to
the other gate and where the gates are

103
00:13:32,74 --> 00:13:37,17
all we have all by you and so basically all
people live in that situation and when

104
00:13:37,18 --> 00:13:37,35
there's

105
00:13:37,36 --> 00:13:42,09
a threat just like the gates of afford
to close we close the gates to stop the

106
00:13:42,10 --> 00:13:42,39
water.

107
00:13:52,15 --> 00:13:57,31
Americans don't even know that when it
comes to all production some twenty five

108
00:13:57,32 --> 00:14:00,88
percent of all the fuel comes from
Louisiana they still think it's Texas the

109
00:14:00,89 --> 00:14:05,50
fisheries production they think probably
Florida just to mention alligators when

110
00:14:05,51 --> 00:14:10,90
you see alligators almost nobody thinks
Florida OK we in Louisiana produce thirty

111
00:14:10,91 --> 00:14:12,43
million dollar value to products

112
00:14:12,44 --> 00:14:17,10
a year they produce seven in Florida there's
no comparison in fisheries people just

113
00:14:17,11 --> 00:14:22,09
don't realize what is this This place does
international trade to the Mississippi

114
00:14:22,10 --> 00:14:26,66
River people forgotten how important economic
order of the Mississippi River is to

115
00:14:26,67 --> 00:14:33,37
the United States so that important
form in Iowa. His goods his

116
00:14:33,38 --> 00:14:37,74
price of fuel the price of his fertilizer
and even the price of his Fried Chicken

117
00:14:37,75 --> 00:14:39,82
has the been on south Louisiana
and they don't know what.

118
00:15:41,57 --> 00:15:42,71
Yes sure if.

119
00:15:48,89 --> 00:15:54,86
You would like to know. I mean I think I
am very anything you would think honesty.

120
00:15:57,34 --> 00:16:03,26
And good in down here and. Most
more you want to do it just garner.

121
00:16:05,44 --> 00:16:12,01
I said I take it one day to.
Whatever happened it happened

122
00:16:13,01 --> 00:16:13,84
to do

123
00:16:13,85 --> 00:16:20,80
a better Galloway did you get
out. Is that by everybody around

124
00:16:20,81 --> 00:16:26,46
here most and that's why I did do work
on boards and. Come back there own

125
00:16:26,47 --> 00:16:32,70
businesses I use the word gulf
your best. I thought I used to do.

126
00:16:35,00 --> 00:16:41,91
Most of you don't talk to
or my good. Lady would

127
00:16:41,92 --> 00:16:46,41
be making a. Million there's

128
00:16:46,42 --> 00:16:56,46
a difference. They're

129
00:16:56,47 --> 00:17:00,83
going to be for all the law. But I'm in

130
00:17:00,84 --> 00:17:07,73
a free. We don't you
really believe. Beera stay

131
00:17:07,74 --> 00:17:09,49
here. For

132
00:17:09,50 --> 00:17:16,24
a few. More three and it's
not worth it. No good.

133
00:17:26,06 --> 00:17:32,89
Let. Me leave. Yours

134
00:17:33,41 --> 00:17:40,38
I'm going to see the. People then again
what happened to my house next as you

135
00:17:40,39 --> 00:17:41,96
can see I've got

136
00:17:41,97 --> 00:17:48,83
a blue roof and at the pole in. All
this is going off my roof from here to

137
00:17:48,84 --> 00:17:55,34
here is gone all now the back I
really don't know not that much but

138
00:17:55,60 --> 00:18:02,60
where it rained bare in bare there when I
don't know from some guy. In the living

139
00:18:02,61 --> 00:18:08,30
room my grandma rug is away and
that room it was just like taken

140
00:18:08,31 --> 00:18:15,13
a shower. Well it's really you know why
he must be very sorry to see you know

141
00:18:15,14 --> 00:18:20,81
what she did you know this is the room
No I don't think you know it was already

142
00:18:20,82 --> 00:18:27,76
when he horrendously. You
know there. Are. No Arista

143
00:18:27,89 --> 00:18:32,89
That's in that's correct so.
This is the one day I made

144
00:18:32,90 --> 00:18:39,84
a record that I want you to yours
for today he died not only. If you

145
00:18:39,85 --> 00:18:42,67
love it I still mean that
yeah if the storm would

146
00:18:42,68 --> 00:18:46,94
a wind like took total twenty eight of us
where he get to where you know I want to

147
00:18:47,27 --> 00:18:52,96
do the mall until I know we met Yeah if
that storm would have came directly towards

148
00:18:52,97 --> 00:18:57,60
Grand Isle like it was first intended we
would have probably been like New Orleans

149
00:18:57,64 --> 00:19:04,03
yeah but right at the and get to the street
you know we didn't get the audio. Very

150
00:19:04,04 --> 00:19:10,51
hard for us. But if you know when to for
show and check on I Have they were like.

151
00:19:11,84 --> 00:19:17,10
It's like really really bad down there
where the it is the most. I says Been have

152
00:19:17,11 --> 00:19:23,56
to me to move. All my memories in there.

153
00:19:25,03 --> 00:19:31,46
Everything is in their. Whole
life so I said I'll move.

154
00:19:33,81 --> 00:19:35,92
On Bill back. And I think

155
00:19:35,93 --> 00:19:45,25
a lot will to that's America. Wind

156
00:19:45,70 --> 00:19:52,57
or. Your record on

157
00:19:52,58 --> 00:19:58,24
rendering or. Knowledge or. Your.

158
00:20:29,64 --> 00:20:33,49
Basically our function here is supplying
some sort of shelter for these people

159
00:20:34,39 --> 00:20:38,99
supplying them with food supplies and
everything for them to get back on with their

160
00:20:39,00 --> 00:20:43,66
laws if it wasn't for this community of
reviving the funds and the food and the

161
00:20:43,67 --> 00:20:48,55
supplies the people the shelter here when
they had anything for ten days after the

162
00:20:48,56 --> 00:20:53,06
storm finance right now the civic center
is fitting the bill for this we're hoping

163
00:20:53,07 --> 00:20:58,76
to get funds either privately or through
the federal government. And that's still

164
00:20:58,77 --> 00:21:01,47
being worked on is kind of a
sticky situation because we're

165
00:21:01,48 --> 00:21:08,03
a nonprofit organization.
When you get that big of

166
00:21:08,04 --> 00:21:11,73
a group of people together some there are
disagreements or not we haven't had any

167
00:21:11,74 --> 00:21:16,08
kind of big drawn out productions
or anything like that we've had

168
00:21:16,09 --> 00:21:21,05
a couple disagreements on things but other
than that it's it's pretty much like you

169
00:21:21,06 --> 00:21:26,59
your brothers or sisters fight basically
and we haven't had any problems here and

170
00:21:26,60 --> 00:21:31,63
you know interview the person that's supposed
to be in charge of this building who

171
00:21:31,64 --> 00:21:38,59
just gave you. So many law yes so many.
He said that we mean treated well

172
00:21:38,88 --> 00:21:41,04
we're not. Psycho in

173
00:21:41,05 --> 00:21:47,61
a prison they treat us like kana most.
It's been really really bad we didn't do

174
00:21:47,62 --> 00:21:54,53
anything. We lost our house with clinging
to what we have left and we feel

175
00:21:54,54 --> 00:21:58,98
a current prison the lights go on at seven
in the morning they go off at eight

176
00:21:58,99 --> 00:22:05,35
thirty at night you. You're told when you
can bathe you're told when you can eat

177
00:22:05,62 --> 00:22:08,67
you're told when you can sleep
when you can smoke there's

178
00:22:08,68 --> 00:22:14,49
a paper you sign when you come into the
building that has regulations and rules and

179
00:22:14,50 --> 00:22:19,67
you'll be the rules and you have to have
respect this building is more worried

180
00:22:19,68 --> 00:22:24,30
about making business than having the people
stay here they want us out they try to

181
00:22:24,31 --> 00:22:29,44
kick everybody out already where are we
going to go we have no place to go. We're

182
00:22:29,45 --> 00:22:34,79
displaced we have we can't go home we've
tried everybody ended up sick we have no

183
00:22:34,80 --> 00:22:41,48
home to go to at this point everybody's
waiting on thema to do some which it just

184
00:22:41,49 --> 00:22:42,71
keeps dragging and Dragon.

185
00:22:59,90 --> 00:23:06,17
We are here because our central
unit here and it you know the town.

186
00:23:07,81 --> 00:23:09,99
And they say we have with them

187
00:23:09,100 --> 00:23:15,85
a scene in. New Orleans is going to help.
They always show between New Orleans and

188
00:23:15,86 --> 00:23:21,91
Mississippi and it seems like they forgotten
everyone else. We got no support from

189
00:23:21,92 --> 00:23:27,88
the federal government the state
government was asking for famous help Fema

190
00:23:27,89 --> 00:23:32,36
wouldn't come in or couldn't come in or
whatever they say you figure with all the

191
00:23:32,37 --> 00:23:37,36
hurricanes they had in Florida you know Jeb
Bush's homes in Georgia brother Georgia

192
00:23:37,37 --> 00:23:40,92
State Of course they got everything you
think that have enough practice with

193
00:23:40,93 --> 00:23:44,95
working with the five hurricanes that
hit Florida to deal with this one.

194
00:23:54,95 --> 00:23:56,48
Our main goal is to set up

195
00:23:56,49 --> 00:24:01,96
a shelter to house the people that lost
everything and to comfort them to feed them

196
00:24:02,32 --> 00:24:07,90
show or them provide whatever assistance
we can do for them in touch with family

197
00:24:08,49 --> 00:24:14,34
all the war they can get on with their
life takes time you feel the aggravation.

198
00:24:16,04 --> 00:24:21,86
But there's only so much we can do and we
just have to accept I'll let them vent

199
00:24:22,62 --> 00:24:27,12
you know come from as much as
you can but that's about it.

200
00:26:19,84 --> 00:26:21,29
Both. The.

201
00:27:03,17 --> 00:27:07,49
There was a wave a twenty five
foot when I had about ten and

202
00:27:07,50 --> 00:27:13,86
a half foot and then they are. Which
the wave came fast so it you know

203
00:27:14,67 --> 00:27:18,38
it didn't stay twenty five feet
it was like more like two and

204
00:27:18,39 --> 00:27:24,41
a half foot. About to the top of those

205
00:27:24,89 --> 00:27:31,85
concrete pillows is where the water
where the water came in came in this

206
00:27:31,86 --> 00:27:34,80
camp right here is local
people which they had

207
00:27:34,81 --> 00:27:39,61
a complete downstairs and it's
gone. I guess it was like maybe

208
00:27:39,62 --> 00:27:46,05
a lemon room or something and. Just
that the brewery is everywhere

209
00:27:46,99 --> 00:27:53,82
and look right here on this guy this house
doesn't even go here I belong is in

210
00:27:53,83 --> 00:28:00,60
the street on those pollens on the other
saw I saw in the wrong location. That's

211
00:28:00,61 --> 00:28:06,21
how Olens Ohio this area anytime there's
anything coming our way really you know we

212
00:28:06,23 --> 00:28:11,52
know we leave about four to five times
every storm season but we never usually

213
00:28:11,68 --> 00:28:15,45
We've been blessed that we never really get
that much damage but we got damage this

214
00:28:15,46 --> 00:28:18,16
time this is where I live right here.

215
00:28:31,79 --> 00:28:35,10
Downstairs bathroom and
kitchen in our US all gone.

216
00:28:41,12 --> 00:28:46,95
Things table I had a
refrigerator right here. Like

217
00:28:46,96 --> 00:28:51,50
a little kitchen right here and see

218
00:28:55,74 --> 00:29:02,57
this was all close the end and this
is the bathroom and showers and this

219
00:29:02,59 --> 00:29:09,57
was my kitchen right
here. Our community this

220
00:29:09,59 --> 00:29:14,99
place but we have all Town officials that
stay intact and say together and they.

221
00:29:16,82 --> 00:29:17,85
They come up what I would

222
00:29:17,86 --> 00:29:23,10
a great plan and they decide what they're
going to do and because they used to you

223
00:29:23,11 --> 00:29:27,79
know putting it together and building the
team and doing what they need to do for

224
00:29:27,80 --> 00:29:34,71
necessary reasons you know just like.
Crossing the bridge into looting and then

225
00:29:34,72 --> 00:29:34,90
there's

226
00:29:34,91 --> 00:29:41,18
a curfew you know which helps protect
our home you know when we're not here.

227
00:29:43,87 --> 00:29:46,53
You know the public's looking up that's
what I tell my guys the public's looking

228
00:29:46,54 --> 00:29:51,10
for I guess trying to tell you know it's
like we will be go with that Tom the break

229
00:29:51,11 --> 00:29:54,72
Dolly and right now we all stay strong for
the community we're trained we used to

230
00:29:54,73 --> 00:29:58,40
do we have to be prepared for that I mean
no one can be prepared for things that's

231
00:29:58,41 --> 00:30:01,29
never happened before but we are
trained for this and I would be

232
00:30:01,30 --> 00:30:05,63
a later day we've had mass we had the
father was one of the first and we did get

233
00:30:05,64 --> 00:30:08,46
the church ready let's get the church
where we can do it all the church.

234
00:30:23,45 --> 00:30:26,85
We came here we had a folder we
found we'd write the mail was

235
00:30:26,86 --> 00:30:29,20
a new one that I couldn't get through but

236
00:30:29,21 --> 00:30:31,37
a full an answer much debris
and almost so and write

237
00:30:31,38 --> 00:30:35,48
a note on the farm is handed to him and
he would run and I was that's how it

238
00:30:35,49 --> 00:30:39,12
operated first week back and forth when
I'm getting out of the radio station is

239
00:30:39,13 --> 00:30:39,92
that he we go to

240
00:30:39,93 --> 00:30:44,49
a radio station so you can travel up
there even get it out on the T.V.

241
00:30:44,50 --> 00:30:48,44
Get out on the radio so I one can hear
because they had power on there in some

242
00:30:48,45 --> 00:30:50,92
areas and they could get on
radio so it was actually

243
00:30:50,93 --> 00:30:53,34
a Pony Express we'd HANNAMAN know give him

244
00:30:53,35 --> 00:30:57,37
a report he would decide what needs to be
done he would go to radio station get on

245
00:30:57,38 --> 00:31:01,06
information about you know how long without
power how bad it was what was going on

246
00:31:01,07 --> 00:31:05,60
all the radio industry nice people and
really does I mean people could take it like

247
00:31:05,61 --> 00:31:08,05
you know one day might
be an opinion but his X.

248
00:31:08,06 --> 00:31:12,39
Is the true look around everybody's working
together and I was living together by

249
00:31:12,40 --> 00:31:16,62
has got to deal with enable lost everything
going to help all they got you know

250
00:31:16,63 --> 00:31:19,14
everybody's help and they
really pulled together

251
00:31:19,04 --> 00:31:19,14
oh.

252
00:31:56,97 --> 00:31:57,11
Oh

253
00:32:10,92 --> 00:32:17,16
. Long long. Long.

254
00:32:47,97 --> 00:32:53,39
Or longer so much that perfect will
come out of Landmark calamity and.

255
00:32:54,95 --> 00:32:58,43
The property of every thirty
minute turn to water an area that.

256
00:34:10,25 --> 00:34:16,23
I think one of the biggest relief
that came after the storm passed and

257
00:34:17,14 --> 00:34:20,89
we were all thinking about you know what
are we going to do you know what would

258
00:34:20,98 --> 00:34:27,92
what do you do from from this point on.
Do you rebuild do you move do you you

259
00:34:27,93 --> 00:34:34,80
know what does your family do and I think
from our standpoint like with the fire

260
00:34:34,81 --> 00:34:39,14
department and I'm sure the mayor and chief
of police and the council members as

261
00:34:39,15 --> 00:34:46,09
well we're very very relieved to hear
that Exxon was going to rebuild. Back in

262
00:34:46,10 --> 00:34:51,29
this area without the support of these kind
of companies it's really difficult for

263
00:34:51,41 --> 00:34:54,97
a small fishing community
to get government money.

264
00:35:27,36 --> 00:35:27,47
But.

265
00:35:47,49 --> 00:35:53,96
One two three four five
six houses it does appear

266
00:35:54,93 --> 00:35:56,47
it's all in the Gulf of Mexico now.

267
00:36:19,17 --> 00:36:25,90
This is Miles here when it when the surge
came across it took my shed and knocked

268
00:36:25,91 --> 00:36:32,43
out all my downstairs that was to garage
doors. And it just I mean everything out

269
00:36:32,44 --> 00:36:37,99
there and you can see every house down
here that's been affected by the storm as

270
00:36:38,00 --> 00:36:43,45
the lower levels. From the tidal surge
I can take you inside and show you the

271
00:36:43,46 --> 00:36:47,36
inside if you'd like. I got debris in

272
00:36:48,17 --> 00:36:54,06
a wooden porch is in boat dock Piers
and I don't know even come from

273
00:36:55,43 --> 00:37:01,56
I have no idea where they came from. It
would have to just like cleaning up and

274
00:37:01,57 --> 00:37:07,97
separate and everything and people
have to come get Was Davis. Have

275
00:37:07,98 --> 00:37:12,48
a set of steps so that if I have no idea
seem like this should have been also

276
00:37:12,49 --> 00:37:18,98
destroyed. This is the kitchen area

277
00:37:20,51 --> 00:37:26,39
the old cabinets my old cabinets is all
fallen in they all walk don't even close

278
00:37:26,40 --> 00:37:31,52
anymore it's all been got it I don't know
the icebox any electrical stuff I have in

279
00:37:31,53 --> 00:37:35,84
Haven works because it's going to be about
another couple of weeks before we have

280
00:37:35,85 --> 00:37:40,100
electricity try getting. A computer
system where my wife does our work for

281
00:37:41,01 --> 00:37:47,01
Louisiana Shrimp Association and the
computers probably no more good death scene

282
00:37:47,02 --> 00:37:52,68
I'm a good a start to come apart
it's completely demolished. Of

283
00:37:52,69 --> 00:37:59,22
a show you my rest of the
house. And this this one isn't

284
00:37:59,23 --> 00:38:05,43
a move the needle is destroyed so actually
what I'm saying is the hole inside the

285
00:38:05,44 --> 00:38:10,74
house would have to be got it everything
out and start from from the beginning and

286
00:38:10,75 --> 00:38:13,84
rebuild the whole thing not

287
00:38:13,85 --> 00:38:19,55
a I'm sad to see all the people nothing

288
00:38:20,76 --> 00:38:25,17
and everything they work for all their
lives is destroyed in one day. It's

289
00:38:25,32 --> 00:38:32,27
depressing and we've all cried. And I

290
00:38:32,28 --> 00:38:35,87
would times. But I could tell you about.

291
00:38:40,11 --> 00:38:44,66
I'd like to see the debris out in the Gulf
right now the stuff that's all there I

292
00:38:44,67 --> 00:38:44,82
got

293
00:38:44,83 --> 00:38:50,53
a report from my son yesterday from one of
the guys working offshore. He's seen some

294
00:38:50,54 --> 00:38:54,50
dead call's dead horses
and a whole house in

295
00:38:54,51 --> 00:38:59,25
a boat upside down sixty five miles offshore
where he passed with the boat when it

296
00:38:59,26 --> 00:39:03,48
was coming in. So that's the Marine.

297
00:39:48,84 --> 00:39:49,35
And.

298
00:39:56,49 --> 00:40:00,37
I don't know how to say this but we we we're
really not into the federal government

299
00:40:00,38 --> 00:40:07,26
we feel like. You know what Twelve hundred
people. You know we said Moishe lawyer

300
00:40:07,33 --> 00:40:11,96
I did what I had to do cross
bridges that was the deal but

301
00:40:11,97 --> 00:40:15,41
a state in the federal government and I do
what I had to do I just got to say that

302
00:40:15,42 --> 00:40:18,61
edge of a bridge waiting for them to
tell me you can't do this again you have

303
00:40:18,62 --> 00:40:22,44
a new government so we cross the bridge
we brought equipment across the bridge we

304
00:40:22,45 --> 00:40:28,32
held up the country needs all the gains
so that's why we go try and advertise in

305
00:40:28,33 --> 00:40:34,16
America that you know you know Louisiana
if you don't want to help us in Louisiana

306
00:40:34,17 --> 00:40:38,56
all we need to do shut the valves off it
all again. It went just coming so you

307
00:40:38,57 --> 00:40:44,90
people to Wisconsin and in Idaho and Chicago
it woulda snows adding Colorado you

308
00:40:44,91 --> 00:40:48,17
know of Louisiana was to good
to get a close a valve you got

309
00:40:48,18 --> 00:40:49,61
a freeze of day you need us.

310
00:41:32,77 --> 00:41:38,25
A lot harder I mean about what
it was like yeah if you do.

311
00:41:39,94 --> 00:41:40,49
You predict

312
00:41:40,50 --> 00:41:47,30
a Category three right here. And watch
movies that. Come out of this way

313
00:41:47,44 --> 00:41:53,82
the three mile show up here so what you're
saying is the cone is Bob like this. And

314
00:41:53,83 --> 00:41:57,91
it really we're right here OK So
you know this thing would make

315
00:41:57,92 --> 00:42:01,89
a turn like this and he's still going to
anything coming this way we have been more

316
00:42:02,14 --> 00:42:09,12
rain how much is don't you
think. In four or five. You

317
00:42:09,13 --> 00:42:14,55
know are you worried what we're worried
about I mean sort of process and stuff that

318
00:42:14,56 --> 00:42:19,03
we've done you know I think that we're
going to be fine you know the efforts that

319
00:42:19,04 --> 00:42:20,38
we've already done and put into it.

320
00:42:42,68 --> 00:42:44,02
Yes and also

321
00:42:44,03 --> 00:42:48,36
a little watch of the weather forecast
as another storm is going to be in

322
00:42:48,37 --> 00:42:55,35
a go. When is the when is this there is
it so where are you we possibly will be

323
00:42:55,36 --> 00:43:02,30
evacuating all Dallas again tonight. Yes

324
00:43:02,31 --> 00:43:06,68
we. Black will be able to water we've got

325
00:43:06,69 --> 00:43:10,66
a farmer's fix to you know above our
hardest things we have no rules on to the

326
00:43:10,67 --> 00:43:15,75
bridge and it's got a bunch of leaks but
they work on it of chain year we had

327
00:43:15,76 --> 00:43:20,06
a problem call the parish get really don't
know electrician to get the pumps and

328
00:43:20,07 --> 00:43:22,58
I'll go on with this storm
right here I want to hold off

329
00:43:22,59 --> 00:43:24,07
a day or two if this storm's

330
00:43:24,08 --> 00:43:29,80
a Category four and he goes toward
Morgan City oh you know that's not

331
00:43:29,81 --> 00:43:36,43
a. Bangun and Louisiana you know you know
we all want to focus in that way so you

332
00:43:36,44 --> 00:43:41,31
know it's not tell them interesting when
it's all hits and we see it so we're back

333
00:43:41,32 --> 00:43:47,69
to square one. Yesterday I told you you
know when we were looking at. Three days

334
00:43:47,70 --> 00:43:51,88
ago we wouldn't leave and this coming Friday
yesterday I was told we'd probably be

335
00:43:51,89 --> 00:43:56,02
here for the end of the month but they're
looking at pulling us out on Wednesday of

336
00:43:56,03 --> 00:44:01,39
this week that's honest but but it's not
related to the storm. Is that it's related

337
00:44:01,40 --> 00:44:06,57
to our D.-MO been getting back and. Who can
us back up with the army that's already

338
00:44:06,58 --> 00:44:12,30
pulled so. It always changes it's the way
the military works but right now they're

339
00:44:12,31 --> 00:44:16,60
talking about going out on Wednesday morning
which means I should know could be in

340
00:44:16,61 --> 00:44:20,49
here to pick us up. And we
would we would be returning.

341
00:44:47,16 --> 00:44:52,46
OK When you plan on moving out. Of.

342
00:45:02,22 --> 00:45:07,79
More world think five years or. Cherish
this and I think anybody else has any

343
00:45:07,80 --> 00:45:13,01
questions how to be hard to find so if you
know of no place where you can get to

344

get out of your might want to start making
calls they just well you know his lawyer

You know when America you know would do
what do I have to do maybe I shouldn't say

361
00:48:18,30 --> 00:48:22,82

States and Malala to maybe get all of

362
00:48:22,83 --> 00:48:26,99
federal assistance and I don't mean the
animal horn but I'm just very frustrated

00:50:59,21 --> 00:51:03,72
track to finding out why I'm actually here
so maybe there's something else for me.

383
00:51:11,50 --> 00:51:11,70
